In Argentina, wind potential is an inexhaustible deposit of clean energy. Since the 1990s, medium- and high-powered wind turbines have been expanding in different regions of the country. The article seeks to build the Argentine wind genealogy, understanding it as the evolution of wind turbines or parks installed in the national territory, to know the development of the sector, from its beginnings to the present. The research builds on the use of secondary documentary sources and statistics in addition to primary information from field observation and a series of semi-structured interviews with key informants. Three wind generations seem to coexist in the territory, showing different characteristics, moments, and actors. Wind turbines become the protagonists in the energy transition, the engine of renewable electrical systems.

Keywords : Wind development; wind turbines; energy transition; Argentina..
